Dear Swing City Patrons,
Did you make it out to hear Compaq last week? Probably,
because it was a full house, Swing City like it ought
to be! What a fun night, thanks everyone!
"Sticky
Skillet Swing Orchestra" this Saturday
The 'Skillets are a band we have been featuring for
the last couple years because they are a solid, swinging,
highly dancable band. They aren't as well know (yet...!)
as some of the bands we all know very well, so please
help us get them there by coming out this Saturday if
you haven't danced to them yet! And of course if you
have, I imagine we'll see you there anyway. It should
be a great night!
And as usual, Mike's "famous" free, fresh,
hot popcorn and cotton candy! Check it out.
Dance
lessons at Swing City
New to Swing Dancing or already an expert? No worries,
we've got something for everyone!
Join us for a beginner swing lesson, or if you're
a more experienced dancer, we offer a concurrent intermediate
class. Classes begin at 8pm promptly, so be sure to
arruve a few minutes early.
Classes have been HUGE lately, so be sure to come for
those. Beginner and intermediate levels are concurrent
so most of our regular dancers will be able to take
a non-beginner class with our rotation of some
of Boston's top dance instructors, yet still bring your
friends who might be more comfortable at a the intro
level. Moreover, the classes are a GREAT way to meet
people if you're new to the scene, single, or just feeling
social!
The intro class will be single step East Coast, while
the intermediate class generally assumes you can dance
a triple step and are comfortable with a variety of
basic moves. The intermediate class is different each
week, generally Charleston. We sometimes features guest
instructors.
If either lesson is too hard or simple for you, one
can just switch to the other one as needed.
